The umbrella net was 2 metres long, 28 cm2 mouth area and mesh size of 100 um. The net was lowered through holes drilled through the pack ice and lowered to 100 m. It was pulled slowly by hand to the surface, closed and brought back through the ice hole. The contents were preserved in 5% buffered formaldehyde and examined under a Leica M12 in the laboratory. Species were identified to the lowest taxon possible. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[115.48, -65.35], [128.36, -65.35], [128.36, -61.3], [115.48, -61.3], [115.48, -65.35]]]} 115.48 128.36 -65.35 -61.3 ACE/CRC AMD AMD/AU CEOS CONTINENT > ANTARCTICA EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > PLANKTON > ZOOPLANKTON GEOGRAPHIC REGION > POLAR OCEAN > SOUTHERN OCEAN PLANKTON NETS R/V AA > R/V Aurora Australis SIPEX SIPEX II Zooplankton GET DATA documentDigital Download the dataset HTML PROJECT HOME PAGE documentDigital Public information for AAS project 4140 HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION > PUBLICATIONS documentDigital Download the referenced publication - AAD Staff Only.
